[1. Board of Supervisors - Presentation recognizing Kevin Osterman, in appreciation of his many years of service as a District 1 Representative for the Planning and Zoning Commission. ]

NUMBER 1, BOARD OF SUPERVISORS - PRESENTATION, RECOGNIZING KEVIN OSTERMAN IN APPRECIATION FOR AS MANY YEARS OF SERVICE AS DISTRICT 1 REPRESENTATIVE FOR PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION.

AND I WAS GOING TO START OUT TODAY. WE BELIEVE WE HAVE MR. STEWART OVER IN PRESCOTT, WE'RE WAITING FOR THEM. AND I WAS GOING TO THANK YOU MYSELF, BUT SOMEBODY SENT ME A LETTER, ONE OF OUR EMPLOYEES, AND WANTED ME TO READ IT, AND IT WAS SO APROPOS.

IT WAS JUST I DECIDED TO READ IT INSTEAD. SO THIS IS WHAT THEY WROTE FOR YOU AND SUPERVISOR KUKNYO AS WELL, WHO HAD RETIRED. LAST WEEK, WE BID FAREWELL TO TWO EXCEPTIONAL COMMISSIONERS FROM THE YAVAPAI COUNTY PLANNING AND ZONING COMMITTEE, JIM PETERSON AND KEVIN OSTERMAN. TOGETHER, THESE GENTLEMEN CONTRIBUTED NEARLY 19 YEARS OF VOLUNTEER SERVICE TO OUR COMMUNITY BEYOND THEIR COMMITMENT TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION. BOTH HAVE SERVED ON MULTIPLE COUNTY BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS, INCLUDING THREE DEDICATED YEARS WORKING ON THE YAVAPAI COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

THEIR EXPERTISE, PROFESSIONALISM AND UNWAVERING DEDICATION HAVE BEEN INSTRUMENTAL IN OUR COUNTY'S SUCCESS.

MORE THAN JUST COMMISSIONERS, THEY HAVE BEEN TRUSTED COLLEAGUES AND FRIENDS WHO BROUGHT BOTH WISDOM AND INTEGRITY TO EVERY DECISION.

AS THEY EMBARK ON THEIR NEXT CHAPTER WE EXTEND A HEARTFELT GRATITUDE FOR THEIR YEARS OF SELFLESS SERVICE TO YAVAPAI COUNTY.

AGAIN, THANK YOU FOR BOTH TO JIM AND KEVIN FOR YOUR OUTSTANDING CONTRIBUTIONS TO THIS COMMUNITY.

AND I JUST FOUND IT FANTASTIC THAT, IT WAS AN EMPLOYEE THAT SENT THIS TO ME.

IT REALLY SAYS A LOT ABOUT WHAT YOU HAVE DONE, AND CERTAINLY, YOU KNOW, MY APPRECIATION FOR WHAT YOU HAVE DONE AS WELL.

AND I BELIEVE WE ALSO HAVE SANDY GRIFFIS AND JIM STEWART.

CAN YOU HEAR US? YES. WELL, WHOEVER WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK FIRST.

SANDY. SO, THANK YOU, VICE CHAIR. TO OUR FELLOW COMMISSIONERS THAT ARE OVER THERE, I JUST WANT TO LET THEM KNOW THAT THE HUG AND KISSING TEAM IS HERE TO WISH THEM WELL.

THEY HAVE BOTH BROUGHT CLARITY AND GOOD JUDGMENT TO THIS COMMISSION.

WE'VE BEEN THROUGH A LOT OF PUBLIC MEETINGS TOGETHER.

WE'VE BEEN THROUGH A LOT OF POWERPOINT PRESENTATIONS, AND THEY HAVE ALL DONE THIS WITH GRACE AND HONOR AND PRIDE.

PLUS, THEY EVEN BROUGHT A SENSE OF HUMOR TO THIS COMMISSION.

BUT I REALLY THINK THAT THEY STOLE IT FROM MY DNA.

SO I'M GOING TO MISS BOTH OF THESE GENTLEMEN VERY MUCH.

AND THEY ARE IN MY ROLODEX OF LIFE. SO TO MR. PETERSON AND MR. OSTERMAN. LOVE YOU BUNCHES, MY FRIENDS.

THANK YOU. SANDY. I'D LIKE TO SHARE A LITTLE BIT OF INFORMATION ABOUT COMMISSIONER OSTERMAN ON HIS DEDICATION TO HIS COMMUNITY AND HIS NATION. KEVIN SERVED OUR NATION AS A MARINE CORPS VIETNAM VETERAN AND AN AIR NATIONAL GUARD FOR 28 YEARS.

KEVIN SERVED ON SCOTTSDALE PLANNING COMMISSION FROM 2000 TO 2003.

[00:15:01]

KEVIN WAS THEN ELECTED AS A COUNCILMAN FOR THE CITY OF SCOTTSDALE IN 2004.

KEVIN HAS SERVED ON THE YOUTH AND GANG TASK FORCE.

YAVAPAI COUNTY BEGAN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE PROCESS IN APRIL OF 2021, AND KEVIN OSTERMAN, ALONG WITH JAMES PETERSON, WAS ASKED TO REPRESENT THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION TO HELP WITH THIS TASK.

KEVIN AND JIM, YOUR INSIGHT, FEEDBACK ON THE PROPOSALS, YOUR TIRELESS WORK AND ATTENTION TO DETAIL, POSITIVE ATTITUDE AND STRONG WORK ETHIC WAS TRULY APPRECIATED.

KEVIN AND JIM, I WANT TO THANK YOU BOTH FOR YOUR SERVICE TO OUR NATION AND TO YAVAPAI COUNTY, AND IT HAS BEEN A PLEASURE TO SERVE ON THIS COMMISSION WITH YOU AND TO CALL YOU A FRIEND.

YOU BOTH WILL BE MISSED BY ALL. WE LOVE YOU. YES.

THANK YOU SO MUCH TO BOTH OF YOU. MR. OSTERMAN, WOULD YOU LIKE TO COME UP AND SAY ANYTHING? WELL, VERY BRIEFLY. I WANT EVERYONE TO KNOW WHAT A GREAT HONOR IT'S BEEN TO SERVE ALL OF YOU AND TO SERVE YAVAPAI COUNTY.

IT'S JUST BEEN A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE. ONE OF THE BEST EXPERIENCES IN MY LIFE, GETTING TO KNOW EACH OF YOU WELL AND HAVING AN OPPORTUNITY TO WORK WITH YOU SIDE BY SIDE. EVERY OPPORTUNITY I'VE HAD IN YAVAPAI COUNTY HAS JUST BEEN WONDERFUL, AND I DEEPLY APPRECIATE IT.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. WELL, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. APPRECIATE YOU AS WELL. AND YOU'RE NOT GOING ANYWHERE. YOU STILL SIT ON.

YOU STILL HAVE WORK TO DO. THAT'S CORRECT. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

AND WE'D LIKE TO COME DOWN AND GET A PICTURE AND GIVE YOU THE PROCLAMATION.

AND, MR. VICE CHAIR, I JUST WANT TO SAY REALLY QUICK THAT COMMISSIONER PETERSON DIDN'T WANT TO BE RECOGNIZED AT A BOARD OF SUPERVISORS MEETING, SO WE HAD A SPECIAL THING AT HIS LAST MEETING AT THE COUNTY BUILDING.

SO HE WAS PROPERLY RECOGNIZED. YES.

THAT'S A REAL JOB. YES, I GAVE UP THE CHOCOLATE, SO.

YOU'RE SENDING THANK YOU. THANK YOU SIR. THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.

WE'LL BE SEEING YOU AROUND. OH, YEAH. OH, YEAH, NO PROBLEM.

BE PLACED IN ASH FORK CLINIC. SUPERVISOR KUKNYO.

I JUST WANTED TO MENTION THAT ASH FORK CLINIC HAS OPEN, WELL, YOU GUYS COULD EXPLAIN THIS BETTER ACTUALLY, BUT REALLY, I WANTED TO PULL THIS AS A THANK YOU TO MANZANITA OUTREACH.

A LOT OF TIMES, BRINGING SERVICES, THESE RURAL AREAS, A LOT OF NONPROFITS ARE INVOLVED AND JUST THANKING THEM AND LETTING YOU GUYS EXPLAIN WHAT'S GOING ON IN ASH FORK AT THAT CLINIC. SURE.

GOOD MORNING. CAN YOU HEAR ME? YES. GOOD MORNING.

JUST PLEASE. THANKS VICE CHAIR, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. WILLA MILLER, REPRESENTING YAVAPAI COUNTY COMMUNITY HEALTH SERVICES ON BEHALF OF LESLIE HORTON. AND I'M HERE WITH MELISSA GARCIA. SHE IS ONE OF OUR PROGRAM MANAGERS.

SHE'S REALLY SPEARHEADED THAT PARTNERSHIP WITH MANZANITA OUTREACH, AND THAT'S WHY I WANTED HER TO BE HERE WITH ME TODAY.

ALSO, SHE HAS BEEN A KEY PLAYER IN LICENSING THE ASH FORK BUILDING FOR US, SO, WE OWE A LOT OF THAT TO HER.

SO THANK YOU MELISSA. SO WE STARTED SERVING ASH FORK IN.

WAS IT JUNE 27TH? WAS THAT OUR DAY? OUR FIRST DAY? ON A FRIDAY. IT WAS A FRIDAY. WE'VE BEEN THERE TWO FRIDAYS THUS FAR.

PEOPLE ARE WALKING IN ONE AFTER THE OTHER ALL DAY LONG.

THEY'RE DEMONSTRATING A NEED IN THE AREA AND IT'S GREAT.

HAPPY TO SERVE THEM. AND HONESTLY, WE COULDN'T DO IT WITHOUT THE SUPPORT OF THE BOARD AND WE REALLY APPRECIATE YOU ENABLING US TO BE THERE.

I GOT A TEXT MESSAGE LAST FRIDAY, SAID WE ALREADY HAD SIX PEOPLE AND IT WAS ONLY 11:00 IN THE MORNING.

[00:20:03]

THEY'RE COMING IN TO GET SERVICES. SO, AND IT'S BEEN SO NEEDED AND WE'VE BEEN TRYING SO HARD.

YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN WORKING SO HARD TO GET LICENSED BY THE STATE, GET YOUR STUFF TOGETHER. IT'S GOOD TO SEE IT UP AND RUNNING. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. YEP.

THANK YOU. ANYBODY ELSE? VICE CHAIR COMPTON. YES.

I CERTAINLY WANT TO WELCOME RAYMOND PAEZ TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION.

I FAILED TO DO THAT DURING MY FIRST COMMENTS.

THANK YOU SIR. I'LL BE I'LL ENSURE THAT I'LL TAKE CARE OF IT.

VERY FINE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. HE'S ALWAYS WELCOME AT THE ASH FORK CLINIC. [LAUGHTER]. YOU WANT TO MAKE IT? I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE ACTION OR CONSENT AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 10.

I'LL SECOND. CLERK OF THE BOARD. SUPERVISOR CHECK.

YES. SUPERVISOR JENKINS. AYE. SUPERVISOR KUKNYO.

YES. VICE CHAIR COMPTON. YES. CONSENT ITEM NUMBER 10 IS APPROVED UNANIMOUSLY.

CONSENT NUMBER 28. APPROVED A TWO YEAR, EIGHT MONTH HANGAR SUBLEASE AGREEMENT WITH GUIDANCE HELICOPTERS,

[28. Sheriff - Approve a two (2) year, eight (8) month Hangar Sublease Agreement with Guidance Helicopters, Inc. in the total amount of $90,414.24, effective January 1, 2025. YC Contract No. 2025-209]

INC. TOTAL AMOUNT OF $90,414.24, EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1ST.

CONTRACT NUMBER 2025-209. SUPERVISOR KUKNYO. THE ONLY TIME THAT WE ALL GET TO TALK TOGETHER IS THAT THESE MEETINGS.

SO I HATE PAYING RENT, AND THIS IS ABOUT 3000 A MONTH FOR A HANGER.

AND MOVING FORWARD, AS WE LOOK FORWARD TO THE SHERIFF HAVING HIS OWN CENTER FOR ADMINISTRATION OR WHATEVER WHEN WE BUILD THINGS IN. I'D LIKE TO SEE US BUILD THIS INTO WHATEVER WE HAVE, RATHER THAN JUST PAYING RENT ON IT.

AND DOES THIS HANGAR HAVE HEAT? DOES. AND I'M HITTING YOU COLD WITH THIS, SO IF YOU DON'T KNOW, IT'S ALL GOOD. SO. VICE CHAIR COMPTON. HONORABLE SUPERVISORS BRENT KIMBREL, YAVAPAI COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE COMMANDER, LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES DIVISION. AND YES, WE HAVE A CONTROLLED CLIMATE HANGER.

WE HAVE APPROXIMATELY $600,000 WORTH OF PARTS THAT ARE STORED THERE, AS WELL AS THE HELICOPTER, KIND OF SIMILAR THAT WE HAVE WITH THE FIXED WING AIRCRAFT AND IT'S HANGER.

VITAL IN OUR DEPLOYMENT FOR SEARCH AND RESCUE OPERATIONS, PROACTIVE SMOKE PATROLS AND THEN LAW ENFORCEMENT, YOU KNOW, DUTIES. AND YES, IT'S, WE FEEL IT'S ESSENTIAL AND WE DO AGREE WITH YOU.

IF WE CAN HAVE A LONG TERM SOLUTION, THAT'D BE GREAT.

THE FUNDING FOR THIS PARTICULAR CONTRACT IS ALREADY PAID FOR.

WE GOT IT THROUGH A GRANT. CONGRESSIONAL APPROPRIATED GRANT TO US THAT WE WORKED, THE SHERIFF DID, WITH TWO US SENATORS. AND SO WE ARE ABLE TO FUND THIS AND THEN HOPEFULLY SEEK THAT, YOU KNOW, NEW HANGAR THAT YOU'RE, YOU KNOW, TALKING ABOUT FOR LONG TERM.

YEAH, THAT'D BE REAL CLOSE TO YOU GUYS. AND I'M WATCHING THE SIGN SHOP GO UP ON COMMERCE.

AND I THINK, REALLY, FOR A SINGLE HELICOPTER, YOU WOULDN'T NEED MUCH MORE THAN THAT.

AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT HAS COST US TO BUILD, BUT YOU KNOW, IF WE COULD JUST FIGURE IN SOMETHING, IN ANYTHING WE DO MOVING FORWARD, IF YOU GUYS AGREE, I'D LOVE TO INCORPORATE THAT.

SO WE'RE NOT PAYING RENT. WE OWN IT. BECAUSE 90 GRAND WOULD DO A LOT FOR CONSTRUCTION, AND THAT WOULD PAY IT FOR ITSELF, I'M SURE, OVER 10, 15 YEARS. VICE CHAIR, I MEAN, THIS COULD BE, WE COULD HAVE A DEEPER CONVERSATION ON THIS TOPIC IN OUR STRATEGIC PLANNING MEETING IN MID-AUGUST, SO.

AND GIVEN THAT IT'S A TWO YEAR, EIGHT MONTH LEASE, I GUESS THAT'S HOW LONG WE HAVE TO BUILD THE BUILDING, MR. COUNTY MANAGER? YES, VICE CHAIR. AND IF I COULD VERY QUICKLY ADD TO SUPERVISOR CHECKS COMMENT, WHICH I AGREE WITH, AND WE COULD ALSO, I WOULD ADD, CONSIDER IT DURING OUR FACILITIES MASTER PLAN CONVERSATIONS AS WELL, WHICH ARE COMING UP NEXT MONTH. AND, YOU KNOW, I THINK IT REALLY IS NECESSARY TO HEAR FROM STAFF, BECAUSE ONE THING I DIDN'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IS YOU GUYS HAVE A BUNCH OF SPARE PARTS, AND HELICOPTER PARTS CAN'T BE CHEAP, SO IT NEEDS TO BE IN A GOOD PLACE WHERE IT ISN'T GOING TO ROT FROM HEAT OR COLD OR WHATEVER.

SO THANK YOU. YES, SUPERVISOR, ABSOLUTELY. AND PROCURING THOSE PARTS CAN ALSO BE DIFFICULT IN THE AVIATION INDUSTRY, SO I APPRECIATE THAT. RIGHT. WOULD YOU GUYS NEED.

WOULD YOU GUYS NEED FUEL THERE AS WELL? YOU PROBABLY WOULD.

OR WOULD YOU FLY INTO THE AIRPORT, FILL UP, AND THEN [SOUND]. WE HAVE MULTIPLE OPTIONS.

AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE A REFUELING SYSTEM THAT WE CAN BRING OUT TO IF WE HAVE A SEARCH AND RESCUE OPERATION OR SOME LONG TERM THAT WE CAN GO AHEAD AND DO SOME OF THAT.

BUT YES, WE USE REFUELING OUT THERE AND THEN OTHER AIRPORTS LIKE SEDONA, FOR EXAMPLE.

THANK YOU. OKAY. SUPERVISOR JENKINS ANYTHING? NO. OKAY. OH. GO AHEAD. I MOVE TO ACCEPT APPROVE CONSENT ITEM NUMBER 28.

SECOND. SUPERVISOR CHECK. YES. SUPERVISOR JENKINS.

AYE. SUPERVISOR KUKNYO. YES. VICE CHAIR COMPTON.

YES. CONSENT ITEM NUMBER 28 HAS BEEN APPROVED UNANIMOUSLY.

WELL, MOVING ON TO ACTION. DEVELOPMENT SERVICES - APPROVE REVISED FUNDING ALLOCATION FOR PREVIOUSLY APPROVED COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK

[1. Development Services - Approve revised funding allocations for previously approved Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) projects managed by the Northern Arizona Council of Governments (NACOG), reflecting a reduction of $266,080.00 in available funds. ITEM APPROVED UNANIMOUSLY, ALLOCATING $400,000.00 TO THE VERDE VALLEY HABITAT FOR HUMANITY, $321,323.50 TO THE PRESCOTT VALLEY FOOD BANK, AND $321,323.50 TO THE YAVAPAI COUNTY DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT ENVIRONMENTAL UNIT.]

[00:25:03]

GRANTS MANAGED BY NACOG, REFLECTING REDUCTION OF 266.080.

GOOD MORNING MARK. GOOD MORNING. VICE CHAIR COMPTON, BOARD OF SUPERVISORS.

I AM MARK LUSSON, ASSISTANT DIRECTOR WITH YAVAPAI COUNTY DEVELOPMENT SERVICES.

BESIDE ME IS ISABEL ROLLINS WITH NACOG, SO. GOOD MORNING.

GOOD MORNING. ALL RIGHT, SO THIS IS. BEFORE YOU AGAIN, WE HAD A DISCUSSION OVER THIS AT OUR LAST BOARD MEETING IN PRESCOTT ON JULY 2ND. THIS WAS CONTINUED TO THIS DATE.

IN ORDER TO KIND OF GET A LITTLE BIT MORE INFORMATION ON THE PROJECTS THAT WERE ORIGINALLY APPROVED BACK IN JANUARY 8TH BY THE BOARD.

AND I HAVE NOW HAD A FEW MINOR CHANGES TO THEM.

SO JUST TO RECAP JANUARY 2025, THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS APPROVED THREE PROJECTS FOR THE CDBG FUNDING.

OUR ORIGINAL ESTIMATED ALLOCATION WAS GOING TO BE $1.3 MILLION BETWEEN THE PROJECTS.

SO OUR ORIGINAL PROJECTS HAD THE PRESCOTT VALLEY FOOD BANK IN COMBINATION WITH THE MEALS ON WHEELS FOR $400,000.

THE VERDE VALLEY, HABITAT FOR HUMANITY AT $400,000, AND THE YAVAPAI COUNTY SERVICES DEVELOPMENT SERVICES CESSPOOL REPLACEMENT FOR $500,000.

SO AS TIME WENT BY BETWEEN JANUARY 8TH AND NOW, THAT ESTIMATED FUNDING WAS ORIGINALLY A LITTLE BIT OVER 1.3 MILLION. THERE'S A FEW DIFFERENT CHANGES THAT HAPPENED.

THE TOWN OF PRESCOTT VALLEY REMOVED THEMSELVES FROM THE RURAL STATUS AND WILL BE GETTING THEIR OWN CDBG FUNDS MOVING FORWARD.

SO THAT POPULATION DECREASE AFFECTED OUR OVERALL GRANT FUNDING.

SO THAT WAS REDUCED TO BY $266,080, GIVING US OUR ACTUAL FUNDING NOW OF $1,042,648. SO AS I MENTIONED, WE HAVE SOME CHANGES TO THE SCOPE OF WORK. SO THE PRESCOTT VALLEY FOOD BANK WAS PARTNERING WITH MEALS ON WHEELS, AND WHAT THAT WAS IS THE FOOD BANK IS USING A BUILDING AND EXPANDING IT, AND MEALS ON WHEELS IS GOING TO BE ESSENTIALLY LIKE A RENTER WITHIN THAT BUILDING.

THEY RAN SOME NUMBERS AND FIGURED OUT THAT THAT WASN'T GOING TO WORK FOR THEM.

SO THEY WITHDREW FROM THAT PARTNERSHIP. THE PRESCOTT VALLEY FOOD BANK OVERALL PROJECT IS $800,000.

SO THE ORIGINAL PROPOSED $400,000 WAS NOT GOING TO NOT MAKE THEIR PROJECT VIABLE.

WITH THE $400,000 ORIGINALLY ALLOCATED, THE PROJECT WAS GOING TO BE VIABLE.

STAFF IS RECOMMENDING AN EVEN SPLIT OF $347,549 BETWEEN THE THREE PROJECTS.

WE DID REACH OUT TO EACH PROJECT. ALL THESE PROJECTS WILL REMAIN VIABLE WITH THE ALLOCATED FUNDS PROPOSED BY STAFF.

ONE THING, ONE LAST THING I DO WANT TO MENTION IS THAT YAVAPAI COUNTY CESSPOOL PROJECT WILL STILL HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR AVAILABLE COMPETITIVE GRANT FUNDING.

SO EVEN THOUGH WE'RE RECOMMENDING $347,550 WE STILL HAVE OTHER OPPORTUNITIES TO INCREASE THAT FUNDING FOR THOSE PROJECTS, THAT'S THE CESSPOOL PROJECT. ONE LAST THING I DO WANT TO MENTION IS THAT EVEN THOUGH STAFF IS RECOMMENDING THESE, THE BOARD IS MORE THAN WELCOME TO REALLOCATE THESE FUNDS TO MAYBE THEIR PRIORITY.

PERFECT. THANK YOU. MARK. I'LL START TO MY RIGHT SUPERVISOR CHECK. THANK YOU. SINCE I DO SIT ON NACOG AS A BOARD REPRESENTATIVE.

THIS IS AN ITEM I'VE DUG INTO A LITTLE BIT, SO MY PREFERENCE FOR HOW WE MOVE FORWARD ON THIS WOULD BE TO KEEP THE VERDE VALLEY HABITAT FOR HUMANITY ORIGINAL FUNDING REQUEST INTACT AT $400,000.

AND MY REASONING THERE IS THAT THEY DON'T HAVE AN ADDITIONAL FUNDING MECHANISM, WHEREAS THE PRESCOTT VALLEY FOOD BANK WILL.

AND IT SOUNDS LIKE OUR CESSPOOL PROJECTS WILL BOTH HAVE POSSIBILITIES TO BE FUNDED.

AND I JUST ALSO WANT TO NOTE THAT PRESCOTT VALLEY BECOMING AN ENTITLEMENT COMMUNITY IS UP FOR FUNDING EVERY YEAR.

AND SO THEY DON'T THEY WON'T HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL 2029, LIKE THE COUNTY WILL, TO FUND ANOTHER SET OF PROJECTS.

SO I BELIEVE ANY SHORTCOMINGS, YOU KNOW, MIGHT BE ABLE TO BE ADDRESSED THROUGH PRESCOTT VALLEY THAT WAY.

SO MY RECOMMENDATION WOULD BE TO KEEP VERDE VALLEY HABITAT FOR HUMANITY AT HUNDRED THOUSAND.

[00:30:05]

JUST TO NOTE, IT IS COUNTYWIDE SERVICES THAT THE VERDE VALLEY HABITAT FOR HUMANITY PROJECTS CAN SERVICE, SO IT IS A COUNTYWIDE EFFORT, SO IT'S NICE AND EQUITABLE THAT WAY.

AND THEN THE REMAINING FUNDS BE DEDUCTED EQUALLY FROM THE PRESCOTT VALLEY FOOD BANK AND DEVELOPMENT SERVICES.

SUPERVISOR KUKNYO DO YOU HAVE ANY? NO. IT'S NICE TO SEE THIS BECAUSE THESE CESSPOOL REPLACEMENTS ARE BAND-AIDS WITH THE ULTIMATE GOAL OF GETTING THE SEWER SYSTEM PUT IN ASH FORK AND EXPANDED AND FIXED IN SELIGMAN.

AND I KNOW YOU GUYS ARE ACTIVELY WORKING ON THAT WITH THOSE GUYS, SO I THINK I'D BE GOOD WITH THAT.

SUPERVISOR JENKINS. I LIKE TO THROW OUT ANOTHER OPTION BASED ON NIKKI'S COMMENTS AND WITH PRESCOTT VALLEY FOOD BANK BEING ABLE TO GET FUNDING NEXT YEAR. I WOULD PROPOSE THAT THE DIFFERENTIAL COME FROM PRESCOTT AND NOT FROM THE CESSPOOL REPLACEMENT. BUT I WILL GO WHATEVER THE BOARD DECIDES.

AND PRESCOTT VALLEY FOOD BANK, WHEN WE START TALKING ABOUT THE TOWN HAVING ITS OWN ABILITY TO GET OTHER FUNDS.

BUT PRESCOTT VALLEY FOOD BANK, I THINK THEY COOPERATE WITH JUST ABOUT EVERYBODY AS WELL, DON'T THEY? I MEAN, THAT FOOD SPREADS OUT WAY BEYOND P.V.

SUPERVISOR KUKNYO, TO CONFIRM, YES, THEY DO REACH OUT TO RURAL AREAS INCLUDING DIAMOND VALLEY, DEWEY-HUMBOLDT, MAYER AND SPRING VALLEY AND CORTEZ AS WELL.

AND I THINK WHEN YOU SHOW UP, THERE'S NO ID REQUIREMENT TO BE IN A MUNICIPALITY OR IS THERE? NOT THAT I'M AWARE OF. YEAH, I DON'T THINK SO EITHER. YEAH.

I MEAN, I THINK ORIGINALLY WHEN WE WERE TALKING ABOUT WHY WE WANTED TO FUND THAT PROJECT THE MEALS ON WHEELS COMPONENT BEING HOUSED WITHIN, IT ACTUALLY WAS A COMPONENT OF WHY WE WANTED TO SUPPORT IT.

AND JUST TO NOTE, I MEAN, WE THE COUNTY DEFINITELY CLEARLY SUPPORTS THESE MISSIONS.

AND WE DID ALSO A LOT AN ADDITIONAL $10,000 TO PRESCOTT VALLEY MEALS ON WHEELS OR PRESCOTT MEALS ON WHEELS THAT SERVES PRESCOTT VALLEY.

IS THAT HOW IT IS? SO THERE WAS AN ADDITIONAL AMOUNT OF SUPPORT GIVEN THAT WAY.

BUT, YOU KNOW, I COULD GO EITHER WAY ON THAT.

I WAS HOPING TO HEAR FROM THE FOOD BANK TO LEARN A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THE CHANGES IN THEIR PROJECTS.

BUT, YOU KNOW, I'M FINE WITH YOUR ORIGINAL. I JUST WANTED TO THROW THAT OUT THERE AND GET SOME MORE INFORMATION, WHICH CHRIS. THANK YOU. AND YOU KNOW WHAT? OUR COUNTY MANAGER'S REALLY HEAVILY INVOLVED IN THIS WHOLE FOOD BANK STUFF AND MEALS ON WHEELS. ARE YOU DYING TO SAY SOMETHING MAURY? I SAID I STARTED AT MY RIGHT; I WAS GOING DOWN, I JUST WASN'T THERE YET.

GO AHEAD, MR. THOMPSON. THANK YOU. VICE CHAIR AND SUPERVISOR.

[INAUDIBLE] FOR THAT REFERENCE. I'M PERSONALLY, NOT THAT IT MATTERS, BUT COMFORTABLE WITH EITHER WAY.

I JUST WANTED TO WEIGH IN AND AND CAUTION. I'VE HEARD A COUPLE OF TIMES THE REFERENCE TO PRESCOTT VALLEY FOOD BANK BEING ABLE TO GO TO PRESCOTT VALLEY FOR.

THAT'S A VERY COMPETITIVE PROCESS. NO GUARANTEES THAT THEY WOULD BE SUCCESSFUL IN PURSUING THOSE ADDITIONAL FUNDS THROUGH THE CITY.

I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION. I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO KEEP THE VERDE VALLEY HABITAT FOR HUMANITY FUNDING LEVELS SET AT $400,000 AND THEN SPLIT THE REMAINING CUTS BETWEEN PRESCOTT VALLEY FOOD BANK AND YAVAPAI COUNTY DEVELOPMENT SERVICES EQUALLY.

SECOND. DISCUSSION. CERTAINLY. AND MARK, DO YOU THINK WITH THAT CUT WE'LL STILL BE ABLE TO MAKE THE SAME DENT IN THE CESSPOOL REPLACEMENT? BECAUSE IT SOUNDS LIKE WHEN WE DO THIS, WE'LL LOSE PROBABLY TWO PROJECTS.

WEREN'T THEY ABOUT 20 GRAND APIECE? FOR THE CESSPOOL PROJECT THEY'RE ANYWHERE BETWEEN LIKE 20 TO 30, DEPENDING ON THE SITUATION. SOME SOME OF THEM UP TO 50.

BUT AGAIN, I WOULD EMPHASIZE THAT WE HAVE THE COMPETITIVE GRANT FUNDING AS WELL AS A FEW OTHER GRANTS ALREADY COMING DOWN THE PIPELINE.

ALL RIGHT. I'M GOOD WITH THE MOTION AND SECOND.

CLERK OF THE BOARD. SUPERVISOR CHECK. YES. SUPERVISOR JENKINS.

AYE. SUPERVISOR KUKNYO. YES. VICE CHAIR COMPTON.

YES. MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY TO ALLOCATE $400,000 TO THE VERDE VALLEY FOOD BANK, AND THE REMAINING FUNDING BEING SPLIT BETWEEN THE P.V.

FOOD BANK AND THE YAVAPAI COUNTY DEVELOPMENT SERVICES CESSPOOL PROJECT.

OKAY, ACTION ITEM NUMBER 2, DEVELOPMENT SERVICES APPROVE.

VICE CHAIR. YES. I CAN I ASK THE CLERK TO REPEAT THAT? I'M NOT SURE THAT WAS ACCURATE, THAT DISTRIBUTION.

[00:35:01]

THE ORIGINAL MOTION WAS FOR $400,000 TO BE ALLOCATED TO THE VERDE VALLEY, AND THEN THE REMAINING FUNDING TO BE SPLIT BETWEEN THE P.V.

FOOD BANK AND THE YAVAPAI COUNTY DEVELOPMENT SERVICES CESSPOOL PROJECT.

EXCUSE ME. EXCUSE ME. THANK YOU. VICE CHAIR, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD.

I THOUGHT THAT THE CUT WOULD BE SPLIT BETWEEN THE TWO REMAINING APPLICANTS.

THE AMOUNT OF THE REDUCTION IN FUNDS WOULD BE SPLIT BETWEEN THE TWO REMAINING APPLICANTS, RATHER THAN THE FUNDING WOULD BE SPLIT.

IS THAT CORRECT? I THINK EFFECTIVELY IT WOULD RESULT IN THE SAME THING.

OKAY. BUT THAT WAS. BUT YOU ARE CORRECT. THAT WAS THE MOTION.

YES. OKAY. THANK YOU. YES, I SAY TOMATO. SO THEN THE MOTION CARRIES.

ACTION ITEM NUMBER 2. DEVELOPMENT SERVICES. APPROVED WEED AND TRASH ABATEMENT IN THE AMOUNT OF NOT TO EXCEED $25,000 AT 1603 EAST BUTTERFIELD IN PRESCOTT.

[2. Development Services - Approve weed and trash abatement in an amount not to exceed $25,000.00 for the property located at 1603 E Butterfield Road, Prescott, pursuant to Yavapai County Ordinance 1997-2, and authorize the Development Services Director to sign all necessary documents. (District 1 - Supervisor Compton)]

THIS IS MY DISTRICT, MARK. GOOD MORNING, VICE CHAIR, AGAIN, BOARD OF SUPERVISORS.

MARK LUSSON, ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT SERVICES.

BEFORE YOU IS CONSIDERATION FOR APPROVAL OF A WEED AND TRASH ABATEMENT NOT TO EXCEED THE AMOUNT OF $25,000 FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1603 EAST BUTTERFIELD ROAD IN PRESCOTT.

PURSUANT OF OUR WEED AND TRASH ORDINANCE FOR CLEANUP, THIS PROPERTY HAS BECOME BLIGHTED DUE TO SEVERE NEGLECT AND TRASH ACCUMULATION, PROMPTING NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FROM NEIGHBORS ABOUT ODORS, PESTS, AND ESTHETICS.

DESPITE EVERY EFFORT FROM YAVAPAI COUNTY DEVELOPMENT SERVICES TO REACH OUT, THE PROPERTY OWNER HAS PASSED AND HAS LEFT THE SITE VULNERABLE TO SQUATTERS, VANDALISM AND ILLEGAL DUMPING. UNFORTUNATELY, THIS IS THE.

AN UPCOMING ABATEMENT PROCESS WILL FOCUS ON CLEANING OUT AND DISPOSING OF THE TRASH AND DEBRIS TO RESTORE THE PROPERTY'S CONDITION AND MITIGATE POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARDS.

THIS IS LOCATED JUST OUTSIDE OF PRESCOTT, KIND OF ON THE PINE MOUNTAIN AREA.

WE HAVEN'T HAD ANY CONTACT WITH THE PROPERTY OWNER.

BUT THIS IS NOT A DEMOLITION OF ANY SORT. THIS IS JUST A PROPERTY CLEANUP OF THE WEED AND TRASH THAT IS ACCUMULATED.

AND PEOPLE ARE ILLEGAL DUMPING ON THE PROPERTY.

MR. VICE CHAIR, CLARITY. YOU SAID WE'VE ATTEMPTED TO REACH OUT AND THE PROPERTY OWNER HAS PASSED.

AS IN NOT RESPONDED OR DEAD. PASSED AWAY. OH, HE IS PASSED AWAY.

ON RECORDS AND REACHING OUT. I'M SORRY TO CLARIFY THAT.

WE KNOW THAT PROPERTY OWNER HAS PASSED AWAY DUE TO OUR REACHING OUT IN ORDER TO CONTACT THEM.

THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? NO. I'LL MOVE TO APPROVE ACTION ITEM NUMBER 2.

SECOND. SUPERVISOR CHECK. YES. SUPERVISOR JENKINS.

AYE. SUPERVISOR KUKNYO. YES. VICE CHAIR COMPTON.

YES. ITEM IS APPROVED UNANIMOUSLY. ACTION ITEM NUMBER 3.

[3. Development Services - Approve weed and trash abatement in an amount not to exceed $25,000.00 for the property at 8175 W Hampton Road, Kirkland, due to the property being rendered uninhabitable and unsafe because of a fire, pursuant to Yavapai County Ordinance 1997-2, and authorize the Development Services Director to sign all necessary documents. (District 1 - Supervisor Compton)]

SAME THING, BUT AT 8175 WEST HAMPTON ROAD AND KIRKLAND.

AGAIN, MY DISTRICT. SIR. THANK YOU, VICE CHAIR.

BOARD OF SUPERVISORS. MARK LUSSON, ASSISTANT DIRECTOR WITH DEVELOPMENT SERVICES.

AGAIN, BEFORE YOU IS A WEED AND TRASH ABATEMENT IN THE AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $25,000.

THIS PROPERTY IN KIRKLAND, IN THE WILHOIT AREA OF KIRKLAND.

THIS PROPERTY WAS THE SITE OF A DEVASTATING FIRE IN MAY OF 2024 TRAGICALLY RESULTING IN THE LOSS OF THE PROPERTY OWNERS LIFE.

WHAT IS LEFT FROM THE FIRE IS THE DESTROYED HOUSE AND THE RUBBLE AND METAL LEFT OVER FROM THAT FIRE.

WE'RE ASKING FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO OUT THERE AND CLEAN UP THOSE REMNANTS OF THE FIRE.

THANK YOU. MARK. ANY QUESTIONS? IS THE PROPERTY LEANED IN THE AMOUNT, OR IS THIS JUST SOMETHING THAT WE DO AND WE ABSORB? THE PROPERTY WOULD BE LEANED WITH THE CLEANUP AMOUNT. THANK YOU.

VERY WELL. I MOVE TO APPROVE ACTION ITEM NUMBER 3.

SECOND CLERK OF THE BOARD. SUPERVISOR CHECK. YES.

SUPERVISOR. JENKINS. AYE. SUPERVISOR KUKNYO. YES.

VICE CHAIR COMPTON. YES. ITEM NUMBER 3 IS APPROVED UNANIMOUSLY.

ACTION. ITEM NUMBER 4. FLEET MANAGEMENT. APPROVE COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT WITH BENNET OIL COMPANY, UTILIZING THE CITY OF PRESCOTT INVITATION FOR BID.

[4. Fleet Management - Approve Cooperative Agreement with Bennet Oil Co., utilizing the City of Prescott Invitation For Bid (IFB) #25COP002 (2026-030) for fuel and gasoline services in an amount not to exceed $1,465,845.00. YC Contract No. 2025-210 ]

CONTRACT NUMBER 2025-210. GIL. GOOD MORNING SIR.

GOOD MORNING, VICE CHAIR. OH, GOOD MORNING, VICE CHAIR.

BOARD OF SUPERVISORS. GIL RIVERA, FLEET MANAGEMENT DIRECTOR.

WE COME BEFORE YOU TODAY REQUESTING APPROVAL OF THE COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT THAT'S MENTIONED WITH THE LOCAL VENDOR, BENNET OIL FOR YAVAPAI COUNTY FUEL AND GASOLINE REQUIREMENTS IN THE AMOUNT OF $1,465,845.

THIS AMOUNT IS ALREADY IN THE CURRENT APPROVED BUDGET.

YAVAPAI COUNTY HAS UTILIZED BENNET OIL SINCE 2021.

ONLY THIS VENDOR CAN MEET THE HIGH DEMAND OF YAVAPAI COUNTY VEHICLES, EQUIPMENT AND THE AGENCIES THAT WE SUPPORT.

ONE THING I'D LIKE TO SAY ABOUT BENNET OIL. WE HAVE DISCUSSED THIS SERVICES WITH OTHER COMPANIES,

[00:40:05]

AND THEY USUALLY REQUIRE A 72 HOUR REQUIREMENT.

BENNET OIL, THEY REQUIRE A 24 HOUR REQUIREMENT.

BUT THERE'S BEEN CASES WHERE WE COME IN ON A MONDAY, AND THERE MAY BE A LOT OF FIRE ACTION GOING ON AT CAMP VERDE, THE VERDE VALLEY AROUND THAT AREA. AND WE CAN CONTACT THEM AT SEVEN IN THE MORNING, AND THEY DELIVER FUEL BY 4:00.

AND NONE OF THE OTHER VENDORS CAN BEAT THEM ON THEIR PRICING AS WELL.

THANK YOU. SUPERVISOR CHECK. I JUST WONDERED, HOW DID WE CONTRACT FOR FUEL PRIOR TO 2021? MA'AM, I DO NOT HAVE THAT ANSWER. IT WAS BEFORE MY TIME, SO, AND I'D HAVE TO REALLY DIG IN, BUT I WAS APPOINTED DIRECTOR IN JANUARY OF 2022.

AND IN MY EXPERIENCE I'VE HAD TROUBLE FINDING RECORDS.

ANYBODY ELSE? SUPERVISOR KUKNYO. I THINK BENNET IS THE ONLY ONE IN THE AREA THAT HAS THE TRUCKS.

I MEAN, EVERYONE ELSE WILL BE COMING OUT OF THE VALLEY OR SOMEWHERE ELSE, RIGHT? CORRECT. BENNET HAS TRUCKS LOCALLY IN PRESCOTT VALLEY, AND THEY ALSO HAVE TRUCKS IN PHOENIX. AND IF THEY'RE, IF THEIR TRUCKS IN PRESCOTT VALLEY ARE ALREADY COMMITTED LOCALLY.

AND WHEN WE CALL THEM, IF THEY HAVE TO, THEY WILL SEND A TRUCK FROM PHOENIX TO US TO FILL US UP.

AND DO WE GET RED FROM THEM TOO? NO. WE DON'T USE RED, DO WE? WE DON'T USE RED, RIGHT ROGER? OKAY. NO, SIR.

THANK YOU. I'D JUST LIKE TO SAY THAT I HAD A LONG CONVERSATION WITH MR. BRENNAN ABOUT THIS AND I. THE NAME ESCAPES ME, BUT I DID ASK THAT QUESTION SUPERVISOR CHECK AND I WAS SATISFIED WITH IT.

AND IT WAS PRICING IN THE ABILITY, SO. AND I WOULD JUST LIKE TO KNOW HOW MUCH SMOOTHER THE MEETING IS RUNNING WITHOUT THE ATTORNEY AND THE MANAGER. SO I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION ON NUMBER 4. MOVE. MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE. I'LL SECOND THEN.

CLERK OF THE BOARD. SUPERVISOR CHECK. YES. SUPERVISOR JENKINS.

AYE. SUPERVISOR KUKNYO. YES. VICE CHAIR COMPTON.

YES. ITEM IS APPROVED UNANIMOUSLY. WITH THEM GONE, IT'S TIME TO TALK ABOUT THE CHRISTMAS PARTY.

THANKS. ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO APPROVE ACTION ITEM NUMBER 5.

PUBLIC WORKS. APPROVE RESOLUTION NUMBER 2162, REPEALING RESOLUTION 1855.

[6. Public Works - Approve Resolution No. 2162, repealing Resolution No. 1855 and establishing regulations and providing procedures for the issuance of franchises and licenses to construct, install and operate transportation and transmission business along, across, under and upon the public roads, ways, alleys, and places within the unincorporated areas of Yavapai County. ]

ROGER, GOOD MORNING. GOOD MORNING. VICE CHAIR COMPTON AND MEMBERS OF THE BOARD.

ROGER MCCORMICK, YOUR PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR. BEFORE YOU TODAY, WE HAVE AN UPDATE TO THE EXISTING RESOLUTION, WHICH IS NUMBER 1855. THE NEW NUMBER WOULD BE RESOLUTION NUMBER 2162.

THERE ARE A COUPLE OF AREAS IN WHICH WE WANTED TO UPDATE THIS RESOLUTION.

[00:45:05]

ONE BEING IS THAT WITH THE FINANCIAL RECORDS THAT WERE BEING PROVIDED TO THE COUNTY, SOMETIMES THEY WOULD COME IN DIFFERENT FORMS QUICKBOOKS EXPORTS OR DIFFERENT WAYS IN WHICH WE WERE RECEIVING THOSE. THIS WILL KIND OF FORMALIZE THE WAY IN WHICH WE RECEIVE THE FINANCIAL REPORTS THROUGH THEM, PROVIDING THE ANNUAL REPORT THAT'S PROVIDED TO THE ARIZONA CORPORATION COMMISSION SO THAT WE CAN HAVE THOSE.

BEFORE IT STATED IN THE RESOLUTION THAT THEY COULD JUST GIVE A DESCRIPTION OF THE BOUNDARY OF THE UTILITY SERVICE AREA.

WE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A FORMAL LEGAL DESCRIPTION OF THE SERVICE AREA THAT'S SUBMITTED TO THE COUNTY, SO THAT WE CAN HAVE THAT OFFICIAL. THE OTHER THING IS THAT IN WORKING WITH RISK MANAGEMENT, THEY NOTICE THAT OUR INSURANCE VALUES THAT WERE LISTED IN THE RESOLUTION WERE OUT OF DATE BASED UPON WHAT RISK MANAGEMENT WOULD LIKE TO SEE.

AND SO WE'VE UPDATED THOSE NUMBERS FOR THE LIABILITY INSURANCE.

AND THEN WE'VE ALSO ADDED BUSINESS AUTOMOBILE LIABILITY AND WORKER'S COMPENSATION LIABILITY INTO THAT RESOLUTION.

AND THOSE ARE THE UPDATES THAT WE'D LIKE TO HAVE FOR APPROVAL TODAY.

THANK YOU ROGER. ANY QUESTIONS? I MOVE TO ACCEPT ITEM NUMBER 6.

SECOND. SUPERVISOR CHECK. YES. SUPERVISOR. JENKINS.

AYE. SUPERVISOR KUKNYO. YES. VICE CHAIR COMPTON.

YES. ITEM IS APPROVED UNANIMOUSLY. TO OUR COUNTY MANAGER AND OUR COUNTY ATTORNEY, DO NOT LISTEN TO MY WORDS ON THE PLAYBACK WHILE YOU WERE GONE.

[LAUGHTER] BY THE WAY, YOU WILL BE REPRESENTING SANTA CLAUS, AND YOU WILL BE THE ELF.

[LAUGHTER] NUMBER 7. PUBLIC WORKS. AWARD CONTRACT TO CACTUS ASPHALT IN THE AMOUNT OF $2,071,063.96.

[7. Public Works - Award contract to Cactus Asphalt in the amount of $2,071,063.96 for Chip Seal (Fall, Fiscal Year (FY) 2026) Project #2515843. YC Contract No. 2025-229 (District 2 - Supervisor Jenkins; District 3 - Supervisor Check)]

CONTRACT NUMBER 2025-229. ROGER. YEAH. THANKS.

VICE CHAIR COMPTON. MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. AGAIN, ROGER MCCORMICK, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR.

SO THIS IS A GREAT CONTRACT. WE HAVE COMING BEFORE YOU TODAY FOR ACTION FOR THE CACTUS ASPHALT.

THEY WERE ACTUALLY THE ONLY BIDDER ON THIS PROJECT.

WHICH TYPICALLY WE GET MORE THAN ONE BIDDER ON THE CHIP SEAL PRESERVATION TYPE PROJECTS.

I THINK EVERYBODY IS JUST REALLY BUSY RIGHT NOW.

AND WAS UNFORTUNATE THAT WE DIDN'T GET MORE. WITH THAT SAID WE DO HAVE YOU KNOW, WITH, WITH THE ENGINEERS ESTIMATE WE WERE AT ABOUT 1.8 MILLION ON THE ENGINEERS ESTIMATE CACTUS ASPHALT CAME IN AT JUST OVER 2 MILLION.

SO WE HAVE ABOUT A $0.70 DIFFERENCE PER SQUARE YARD.

SO WE ARE AROUND THE $5 PER SQUARE YARD COST FOR CHIP SEAL.

WE'VE KIND OF BEEN TRACKING THIS ON A YEARLY BASIS.

AND AS YOU GO BACK TO, YOU KNOW, THE PREVIOUS FIVE YEARS, WE JUST STARTED CONTINUALLY SEEING A CITY INCLINE IN OUR CONSTRUCTION COSTS.

AND SO WITH THAT SAID THIS IS GOING TO SERVE BOTH DISTRICT 2 AND DISTRICT 3 AS FAR AS THE ROADWAYS THAT WILL BE CHIP SEALED.

THE OAK CREEK VALLEY ROAD AREA WILL BE CHIP SEALED ALONG WITH CORN HILL NORTH AND SOUTH AREAS NORTH AND SOUTH OF YOU KNOW, THE CORN HILL ROAD AND THEN ALSO THE BRIDGEPORT AREA NEAR COTTONWOOD WILL BE CHIP SEALED AS PART OF THIS CONTRACT.

THANK YOU. SUPERVISOR JENKINS, ANY COMMENTS? IT ALWAYS CONCERNS ME WHEN THERE WAS ONLY ONE BIDDER THAT COME IN, BUT WE HAD TALKED ABOUT IT, AND I UNDERSTAND THAT CHIP SEAL CONTINUES TO GO UP.

AND I TRUST YOUR JUDGMENT THAT THIS IS STILL A FAIR QUOTE FOR THE WORK BEING DONE.

I DO HAVE A HISTORY WITH CACTUS ASPHALT, AND THEY ARE A QUALITY VENDOR, WHO DO EXCEPTIONAL WORK THAT STAYS.

SO I THINK IT'S A GOOD CHOICE. THANK YOU. SO WE ALSO WE HAVE OUR NEXT ITEM COVERS PAVING COSTS WHERE WE DID GET ADDITIONAL BIDDERS.

SO IS THIS BID IN LINE WITH THOSE, AS FAR AS PER SQUARE FOOT? WELL IT'S A DIFFERENT TREATMENT. AND SO THEY'RE FAR MORE PER SQUARE YARD.

JUST BECAUSE THE NEXT ITEM DEALS WITH LAYING ASPHALT VERSUS THIS IS A PRESERVATIVE CHIP SEAL ON TOP.

SO THIS IS QUITE A BIT LESS, YOU KNOW TO DO PER SQUARE YARD.

OKAY. ENTERTAINING. HOW FAR IN FRONT WILL THEY TAKE THESE BIDS? HOW MUCH ADVANCE NOTICE WHEN WE PUT IT OUT TO BID UNTIL THEY PUT IT IN AND THEY DO THE WORK? SO WE USUALLY TRY TO GET ON EVERYBODY'S SCHEDULE AS SOON AS WE CAN.

AND SO THIS IS A NEW FISCAL 26 MONEY, RIGHT, THAT WE'RE COMING INTO NOW THAT IT'S JULY.

AND SO WE'VE GOT IT OUT TO BID AND READY TO BUILD RIGHT NOW BECAUSE WE WANTED TO HIT IT RUNNING IN 26.

AND SO WE WANT TO GET ON CONTRACTORS SCHEDULES AS QUICK AS WE CAN.

[00:50:02]

AND SO THIS WILL HAPPEN BEFORE FALL. AND WITH THE CHIP SEAL YOU CAN'T GO REALLY BEYOND OCTOBER BECAUSE THE TEMPERATURES DROPPED TOO FAR.

AND SO IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE GET IT OUT TO BID RIGHT AWAY.

AND SO THAT'S HOW WE KIND OF OPERATE. I KNOW WE JUST DID THAT MONSTER PROJECT ON 66, AND WE ALWAYS DO CHIP SEAL, IS THERE ANY WAY TO BUNDLE THESE BIGGER TO ATTRACT MORE BIDDERS AND MAYBE GET A LOWER PRICE? WOULD SOMEONE MOBILIZE FROM OUT OF STATE EVEN TO COME IN AT A LOWER PRICE BECAUSE THEY HAVE SO MANY PROJECTS TO DO? YEAH, YEAH, AND WE DO. AND THIS IS KIND OF A BUNDLED, EACH YEAR WE DO TWO PROJECTS, TYPICALLY ONE IN THE IN THE FALL AND ONE IN THE SPRING.

THE $2 MILLION HERE IS QUITE LARGE, ACTUALLY, FOR ONE OF OUR CHIP SEAL PROJECTS.

SO IT'S BUNDLING QUITE A FEW ROADS TOGETHER TO GET IT DONE.

YOU JUST NEVER KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE CONTRACTING COMMUNITY, AND FOR WHATEVER REASON, THERE WAS JUST ONE THIS TIME. BUT AS SUPERVISOR JENKINS SAID CACTUS ASPHALT IS A VERY REPUTABLE COMPANY.

THEY DO A GREAT JOB FOR US. THEY'VE DONE SOME ROADS RECENTLY FOR US DOWN IN BLACK CANYON CITY.

AND ACTUALLY, THE ONE YOU MENTIONED THERE, UP ON OLD ROUTE 66, THEY DID THAT ONE FOR US, TOO.

THANKS. I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE ACTION ITEM NUMBER 7.

SECOND. CLERK OF THE BOARD. SUPERVISOR CHECK.

YES. SUPERVISOR JENKINS. AYE. SUPERVISOR KUKNYO.

YES. CHAIR. VICE CHAIR COMPTON. YES. ITEM IS APPROVED UNANIMOUSLY.

ACTION ITEM NUMBER 8. PUBLIC WORKS AGAIN. AWARD CONTRACT TWO.

[8. Public Works - Award contract to Fann Contracting, Inc. in the amount of $2,389,898.00 for Old Highway 66 Overlay (Fiscal Year (FY) 2026) Project #2450129. YC Contract No. 2025-228 (District 4 - Supervisor Kuknyo)]

FANN CONTRACTING, INC. YAVAPAI COUNTY. CONTRACT 2025-228.

SUPERVISOR KUKNYOS DISTRICT. ROGER. GREAT, THANKS.

VICE CHAIR COMPTON. MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. AGAIN, ROGER MCCORMICK, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR.

SO KIND OF OPPOSITE. AS SUPERVISOR CHECK POINTED OUT ON THIS ONE, WE HAD A TOTAL OF SIX BIDDERS.

AND IN RELATION TO THE ENGINEER'S ESTIMATE, WE WERE AT 2.5 MILLION.

THE FINAL CONTRACT PRICE FROM FANN IS, YOU KNOW, 2.38, SO ALMOST 2.4 MILLION.

SO JUST UNDER ENGINEER'S ESTIMATE. WITH THOSE SIX BIDDERS I THINK FROM THE, YOU KNOW, FROM FANNS, WHICH WAS THE LOWEST BID UP TO THE HIGHEST BID AT ABOUT 2.7.

THERE WASN'T A HUGE RANGE OF DIFFERENCE, RIGHT? THERE'S ONLY $300,000, REALLY FROM THE TOP TO THE LOW.

YOU'RE ABOUT 10%, 12%, WHICH IS REALLY TIGHT BID.

AND SO THAT MEANS THE PACKAGE THAT WAS PUT OUT WAS VERY COMPETITIVE, AND THE CONTRACTORS REALLY DUG INTO THE NUMBERS, AND THREE OUT OF THE SIX BIDS WERE IN THE $2.5 MILLION RANGE.

AND SO THEY WERE REALLY SHARPENING THEIR PENCILS AND GETTING THINGS OUT.

AND AND SO WE FEEL THAT THIS IS A COMPETITIVE BID.

FANN IS A REPUTABLE COMPANY THAT WE'D LIKE TO AWARD THE CONTRACT TO SO THAT THEY CAN DO THE WORK FOR US.

THE PROJECT LENGTH IS ABOUT FOUR MILES. IT TIES INTO AN EXISTING PROJECT THAT WAS JUST RECENTLY FINISHED ON OLD ROUTE OR OLD HIGHWAY 66 AT THE FORT ROCK ROAD INTERSECTION. SO THAT NEW ASPHALT THAT WAS INSTALLED AS PART OF THAT SAFETY PROJECT, THIS WOULD TIE INTO THAT AND THEN GO FOUR MILES WEST FROM THAT EXISTING PROJECT.

AS WAS MENTIONED EARLIER, WE CHIPPED SEALED WITH THE RUBBER THE WHOLE 34 MILES LAST YEAR.

OLD HIGHWAY 66 IS IN NEED OF A LOT OF REPAIR.

THE WHOLE THING ACTUALLY NEEDS AN OVERLAY. BUT THIS IS HOW WE ARE GOING TO APPROACH IT IS WE GOT THE PRESERVATIVE SEAL ON THE WHOLE THING.

AND NOW, AS WE DO HAVE MONEY AVAILABLE, WE'RE GOING TO START CHIPPING IT OFF IN OVERLAYS AS WE CAN TO EVENTUALLY OVERLAY THE WHOLE THING.

BUT THIS THIS WILL GET US THE FIRST KIND OF FOUR MILES.

THIS IS THE AREA THAT WAS IN THE WORST CONDITION.

AND SO WE'RE STARTING WITH WHAT WE FEEL IS THE MOST NEED RIGHT NOW.

SUPERVISOR KUKNYO. THAT'S JUST A GOOD PROJECT.

AND I'D LIKE TO SEE IT COME IN UNDER BID. AND MAYBE I DON'T KNOW IF IT TIES IN WITH FANN WRAPPING UP THE 17 PROJECT, THEY HAD TO HAVE A TON OF ASSETS THERE. AND ROUTE 66 ISN'T JUST A NOVELTY.

IT'S ACTUALLY AN ALTERNATE ROUTE FOR I-40 IF SOMETHING SHOULD HAPPEN FROM KINGMAN TO ASHFAQ.

SO I THINK IT'S A WORTHWHILE THING TO PURSUE.

THANK YOU. SUPERVISOR JENKINS. ANYTHING? THANK YOU.

OKAY. I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO APPROVE ITEM NUMBER 8.

ACTION. I MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE. ACTION ITEM NUMBER 8.

I'LL SECOND. SUPERVISOR CHECK. YES. SUPERVISOR JENKINS.

AYE. SUPERVISOR KUKNYO. YES. VICE CHAIR COMPTON.

YES. ITEM IS APPROVED UNANIMOUSLY. THANK YOU.

ROGER. THANK YOU. DEVELOPMENT SERVICES UNDER HEARINGS.

[1. Development Services - Approve Revised Final Plat of the Highlands Unit 2 subdivision to allow for the split of Lot 12 into three parcels, on a 2.14-acre parcel in a R1-12 zoning district, subject to the Conditions of Approval. Property Owner: Billy Roberts Family Trust. Applicant/Agent: Tom Liuzzo, RLS, Granite Basin Engineering; APN: 500-16-026. Application No. PLA25-000032. (District 2 - Supervisor Jenkins)]

APPROVE REVISED PLAT FOR THE HIGHLANDS UNIT NUMBER 2 SUBDIVISION TO ALLOW FOR THE SPLIT OF LOT 12 INTO THREE PARCELS.

THIS IS SUPERVISOR JENKINS DISTRICT. GOOD MORNING BECCA.

GOOD MORNING. OKAY. THAT'S ALL RIGHT. GOOD MORNING.

[00:55:04]

VICE CHAIR. THANK YOU. VICE CHAIR COMPTON, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD.

MY NAME IS BECCA SIRAKIS PLANNER WITH YAVAPAI COUNTY DEVELOPMENT SERVICES.

TODAY, I AM PRESENTING AN APPLICATION FOR REVISED FINAL PLAT OF THE HIGHLANDS UNIT 2 SUBDIVISION TO ALLOW FOR THE SPLIT OF LOT 12 INTO THREE PARCELS, ON A 2.14-ACRE PARCEL. ALL RIGHT. SO WHY IS THIS REVISED FINAL PLAT APPLICATION REQUIRED? I JUST WANT TO POINT TO SECTION 112 OF THE YAVAPAI COUNTY SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS THAT STATE: "NO CHANGES, ERASURES OR MODIFICATIONS SHALL BE MADE TO A FINAL PLAT AFTER THE BOARD HAS APPROVED IT".

SEPARATELY IN THE SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS, UNDER SECTION 458, IT DOES STATE THAT A CERTIFICATION OR RATIFICATION SIGNED ACKNOWLEDGED BY ALL PARTIES HAVING ANY RECORD TITLE INTEREST IN THE LAND SUBDIVIDED, CONSENTING TO THE PREPARATION AND RECREATION OF SUBPLOT IS REQUIRED FOR A FINAL PLAT APPLICATION. SO THAT HAS BEEN INTERPRETED TO MEAN THAT ALL PROPERTY OWNERS WITHIN A SUBDIVISION PHASE MUST PROVIDE THEIR CONSENT FOR A PROPOSED CHANGE IN A SUBDIVISION, SUCH AS THIS PROPOSED LOT SPLIT.

THE SUBJECT APPLICATION HAS SPENT THE LAST YEAR OR SO OBTAINING ALL REQUIRED SIGNATURES FROM THE PROPERTY OWNERS WITHIN THIS HIGHLANDS UNIT 2 SUBDIVISION, SATISFYING THE 100% SIGNATURE REQUIREMENT. WITH ALL OF THAT OUT OF THE WAY.

I WILL SAY THAT THE SUBJECT APPLICATION IS WITHIN DISTRICT 2, SUPERVISOR JENKINS DISTRICT, AND THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED IN THE COMMUNITY OF MAYER.

THE PROPERTY IS CURRENTLY ZONED R1-12. RESIDENTIAL SINGLE-FAMILY, ALLOWS FOR ONE HOME AND ACCESSORY STRUCTURES BY RIGHT.

TO THE NORTH OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS C1 ZONING AND TO THE SOUTH, EAST AND WEST ARE ALL R1 ZONED PARCELS. HERE'S THE INTERACTIVE MAP IMAGERY SHOWING THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.

IT'S HIGHLIGHTED IN RED. THE PARCEL TO THE NORTH IS DEVELOPED AS A REALTOR'S OFFICE AND VISITOR CENTER.

THE E TO THE EAST IS THE FRONTAGE ROAD ALONG STATE ROUTE 69, AND TO THE SOUTH IS WHAT WAS LOT 11, WHICH HAS BEEN SPLIT INTO FOUR SEPARATE PARCELS.

THE LOTS THAT HAVE BEEN SPLIT PREVIOUSLY WERE DONE SO PRIOR TO DEVELOPMENT SERVICES INSTITUTING OUR CURRENT POLICY REGARDING NO SPLITTING IN A SUBDIVISION.

THIS IMAGE IS SHOWING THE PROPOSED REVISED FINAL PLAT OF LOT 12 SHOWING THE THREE PROPOSED PARCELS.

AND HERE'S THE CITIZEN PARTICIPATION MAP. THERE HAS BEEN NO LETTERS OF SUPPORT OR OPPOSITION RECEIVED FOR THIS APPLICATION.

WE HAVE AGAIN RECEIVED ALL REQUIRED SIGNATURES FROM THE PROPERTY OWNERS WITHIN THE SUBDIVISION THOUGH.

JUST TO SUMMARIZE, THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING A REVISED FINAL PLAT OF HIGHLANDS UNIT 2, LOT 12, TO ALLOW FOR THE SPLIT OF THAT LOT INTO THREE PARCELS.

STAFF DOESN'T HAVE ANY CONCERNS WITH THIS APPLICATION AND THAT DOES CONCLUDE MY PRESENTATION.

THE APPLICANT IS HERE AND AVAILABLE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS AS WELL AS MYSELF.

THANK YOU. SUPERVISOR JENKINS. WOULD YOU LIKE TO HEAR FROM THE APPLICANT FIRST? CERTAINLY. AND VICE CHAIR, I'D JUST LIKE TO NOTE THERE ARE NO GREEN SHEETS ON THIS ITEM.

THANK YOU. GOOD MORNING SIR. PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.

GOOD MORNING. VICE CHAIR COMPTON. MEMBERS OF THE BOARD.

THOMAS LIUZZO, GRANITE BASIN ENGINEERING, REPRESENTING THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY.

WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON THIS PROJECT FOR TWO YEARS, NEARLY, TO FOLLOW THE GUIDELINES SET FORTH BY DEVELOPMENT SERVICES WITH THE 100% RESPONSE RATE OF ALL THE PEOPLE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

IT TOOK A BIT TO DO THAT BECAUSE THERE WERE PEOPLE NOT WANTING TO ANSWER DOORS AND PEOPLE NOT WANTING TO RESPOND TO LETTERS.

BUT WE WERE SUCCESSFUL IN GETTING THAT AND MEETING ALL OF THE REQUIREMENTS.

OKAY. ANY QUESTIONS? NO QUESTIONS. I DO HAVE A COMMENT THOUGH.

CERTAINLY. I READ THROUGH ALL THE EXTENSIVE MATERIAL ON THIS ITEM AND IT DOES APPEAR IT'S BEEN GOING ON FOR QUITE SOME TIME, BUT ACCORDING TO ALL THE DOCUMENTS, THE APPLICANT HAS FULFILLED ALL THE REQUIREMENTS, AND I HAVE NO OBJECTION.

THANK YOU. SUPERVISOR KUKNYO. THOM, I WAS JUST WONDERING ON, HOW IS ACCESS FOR THESE DIFFERENT LOTS, IS IT THROUGH EASEMENT? YEAH, THEY'RE ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE PARCEL.

WE HAVE AN EASEMENT THAT GOES FROM THE FRONTAGE ROAD ON THE EAST TO THE ROAD ON THE WEST, I BELIEVE IT'S TOWER ROAD.

AND HAS THERE BEEN ANY AGREEMENT ON WHO WILL MAINTAIN THAT ROAD, IS THERE ANY WRITTEN AGREEMENT?

[01:00:05]

WHEN THE OWNER SELLS IT, HE'LL MOST LIKELY BE REQUIRED TO DO THAT.

WITH WHOMEVER HE SELLS THE OTHER PARCELS TO. OKAY.

AND, YOU KNOW, BOARD, JUST SPEAKING TO THE BOARD.

THIS IS WHY I THINK WE REALLY NEED TO GET THIS ZONING STUDY GOING AND KICKING, BECAUSE WE HAVE PEOPLE THAT PUT IN THESE ROADS, AND I THINK THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING IN THERE THAT SAYS THERE HAS TO BE AN AGREEMENT ON WHO'S GOING TO MAINTAIN.

AND, YOU KNOW, AND WE JUST SAID, YOU KNOW, WE THINK IT WILL BE AND WE'RE HAVING SOME BIG PROBLEMS WITH THAT.

SO IT'D BE NICE TO SEE ON PROJECTS LIKE THIS.

IF IF SOMEONE SAYS YES, I WILL BE THE ONE THAT MAINTAINS THIS EASEMENT.

SO GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN, THOM. WE'RE CHANGING AS WE GET OLDER.

I JUST WANT TO NOTE THAT THE USE WOULD BE EXACTLY SIMILAR TO THE PARCEL NEXT DOOR TO IT.

SO I DON'T SEE ANY. THE SOUTH. RIGHT. THE RESIDENTIAL.

CORRECT. SO I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH WITH THIS.

ANYBODY IN THE AUDIENCE WISH TO SPEAK? NO. THEN I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION ON HEARING ITEM NUMBER 1.

SO MOVED. SECOND. SUPERVISOR CHECK. YES. SUPERVISOR JENKINS.

AYE. SUPERVISOR KUKNYO. YES. VICE CHAIR COMPTON.

YES. AND THAT WAS A MOTION TO APPROVE. OKAY. ITEM IS APPROVED UNANIMOUSLY.

HEARING ITEM NUMBER 3, APPROVE RESOLUTION 2160 REGARDING EXTINGUISHMENT OF A PORTION OF RIGHT OF WAY FOR HUDSON LANE,

[3. Public Works - Approve Resolution No. 2160 regarding the extinguishment of a portion of the right-of-way for Hutson Lane in the Village of Oak Creek. (District 3 - Supervisor Check)]

THE VILLAGE OF OAK CREEK. THIS IS SUPERVISOR CHECKS DISTRICT.

ROGER. YEAH. GOOD MORNING, VICE CHAIR. MICROPHONE.

GOOD MORNING. VICE CHAIR COMPTON, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. ROGER MCCORMICK, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR. JUST GET THIS PRESENTATION UP HERE FOR YOU.

FULL SCREEN. THERE WE GO. ALL RIGHT. SO BEFORE YOU TODAY, WE HAVE A HEARING ITEM, WHICH IS TO APPROVE RESOLUTION NUMBER 2160. THIS IS REGARDING THE EXTINGUISHMENT OF A PORTION OF A PUBLIC ROADWAY EASEMENT FOR HUDSON LANE THAT LIES WITHIN THE VILLAGE OF OAK CREEK. AND SO THIS IS IN SUPERVISOR CHECK DISTRICT, DISTRICT 3.

YOU'VE SEEN THIS SLIDE BEFORE, BUT YAVAPAI COUNTY CAN DISPOSE OF PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY IN A COUPLE OF WAYS.

ONE IS ABANDONMENT. ONE IS EXTINGUISHMENT. HUDSON LANE IS, THE RIGHT OF WAY FOR HUDSON LANE WAS ACQUIRED BY GRANT OF EASEMENT.

AND SO THEREFORE THIS IS GOING THROUGH THE EXTINGUISHMENT PROCESS.

SO IN ACCORDANCE WITH RESOLUTION NUMBER 2046 AND THE STATE STATUTE 286701, THE BIG PARK DOMESTIC WATER IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT HAS SUBMITTED A PETITION FOR EXTINGUISHMENT OF THE PUBLIC ROADWAY ON THE EASEMENT FOR HUDSON LANE IN THE VILLAGE OF OAK CREEK.

THE REASON WHY THEY ARE SUBMITTING THIS PETITION IS THAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO INSTALL A GATE TO PERMANENTLY CLOSE THE ROAD, AND TO PREVENT TRESPASSING ON THEIR PROPERTY.

THE PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY FOR HUDSON LANE WAS ACQUIRED BY GRANT OF EASEMENT, AS WE KIND OF DISCUSSED THERE ON THAT SECOND SLIDE.

SO THE BIG PARK DOMESTIC WASTEWATER IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT ALREADY OWNS THE LAND WITH JUST THE EASEMENT THAT TRAVERSES IT.

SO THEREFORE, SINCE THEY ARE OWNERS OF THE LAND, THERE WOULDN'T BE ANY CONSIDERATION OR TRANSFER OF, YOU KNOW, TITLE, SO THERE WOULD BE NO COMPENSATION TO THE COUNTY FOR THIS ONE.

VICINITY MAP HERE. SO DOWN IN THIS AREA WHERE THE LITTLE STAR IS, WE'VE GOT STATE ROUTE 179 THAT COMES UP THROUGH THE THROAT OF THE VILLAGE OF OAK CREEK.

THEIR PARCELS ARE ALL DOWN HERE ON THIS END. WHERE THE STAR'S AT.

[01:05:02]

THIS IS A ZOOMED IN VERSION OF WHERE THAT STAR WAS.

SO THE HASHED OUT BLUE AREA THAT YOU'RE SEEING HERE IS THE AREA THAT'S PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY RIGHT NOW THAT WOULD, IS UP FOR HEARING FOR THE EXTINGUISHMENT OF THIS, THESE PARCELS STARTING RIGHT HERE AT THIS CORNER, EXTENDING ALL THE WAY DOWN HERE AND STARTING RIGHT HERE AT THIS CORNER, EXTENDING ALL THE WAY DOWN HERE ARE ALL OWNED BY THE BIG PARK WATER IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT.

THEIR FACILITIES HERE WHERE THEY HAVE A LOT OF THEIR SUPPLIES AND STUFF LIKE THAT, ARE HERE AT THE VERY END PARCEL.

SURROUNDING ALL OF THEIR PARCELS HERE YOU HAVE NATIONAL FOREST SERVICE PROPERTY, AND SO I THINK THAT'S KIND OF WHAT'S LEADING TO SOME OF THE TRESPASSING, AS PEOPLE WILL COME DOWN HERE AND THEY'LL PARK AND, YOU KNOW, WANT TO ACCESS THE FOREST DOWN THERE. SO THEIR DESIRE IS TO BE ABLE TO PUT A GATE ACROSS THIS RIGHT HERE AND ABANDON ALL THIS PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY GOING DOWN TO THEIR FACILITY.

THIS IS A SITE PHOTO AS YOU'RE LOOKING FROM THE ABANDONMENT AREA, LOOKING NORTH TO SOUTH OF THAT ROADWAY.

OF COURSE, WITH EXTINGUISHMENT OF THE PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY FOR TRANSPORTATION PURPOSES THAT STILL RESERVES THE RIGHT OF WAY FOR THE ANY EXISTING USES OR RIGHTS IN RELATION TO UTILITIES. AND SO FOR THE THREE LISTED HERE, IF THERE ARE ANY EXISTING SEWER, GAS, WATER OR SIMILAR PIPELINES. CANALS, LATERALS OR DITCHES, ELECTRIC TELEPHONE OR SIMILAR LINES, THOSE WOULD STILL HAVE RIGHT TO BE THERE. THE ANALYSIS IS THAT THIS WOULD ALLOW THE PETITIONER TO ACCOMPLISH ITS GOAL BY SECURING THE PROPERTY FROM TRESPASSERS. IT WOULDN'T DENY ANY OTHER PROPERTY OWNER IN THE AREA LEGAL ACCESS TO HIS OR HER PROPERTY, AND IT WOULD NOT INTERFERE WITH ANY CURRENT OR FUTURE COUNTY ROAD MAINTENANCE PLANS IN THIS AREA.

THE ROADWAY, AS IT IS RIGHT NOW, IS NOT MAINTAINED BY THE COUNTY.

ONE CONDITION FOR THIS THAT WE WOULD RECOMMEND, SHOULD THE BOARD DECIDE TO GRANT EXTINGUISHMENT TODAY.

IS THAT THE BIG PARK DOMESTIC WASTEWATER IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT WITHIN 120 DAYS.

COMPLETE THE EXTINGUISHMENT PROCESS WITH THE COUNTY, WHICH INCLUDES RECREATION OF A PLAT THAT SHOWS THE EXTINGUISHMENT OF THE PUBLIC EASEMENT. AND IF THEY DON'T DO THAT, THEY WOULD BE REQUIRED TO PETITION ANEW, WHICH WOULD HAVE A NEW FEE WITH THAT NEW APPLICATION.

I THINK THAT'S IT. YEAH. SUPERVISOR CHECK. YEAH.

SO THIS IS AN ISSUE I'M FAMILIAR WITH. THANK YOU.

ROGER, I THINK YOU DID A GREAT JOB PRESENTING ON IT.

BUT I DO ALSO WANT TO NOTE THAT THE FOREST SERVICE LAND SURROUNDING THAT AREA, THAT THIS CLOSURE WOULDN'T INTERFERE WITH ANY OF THEIR RECOMMENDED USES. THEY'VE HAD AN EFFORT TO CLOSE SOME SOCIAL TRAILS AND FOCUS RECREATION TO PREVENT THE DEGRADATION OF CERTAIN AREAS. AND SO I CAN'T SPEAK FOR THE FOREST SERVICE, BUT, YOU KNOW, FROM WHAT I KNOW OF THEIR PLANS OF THE AREA, THIS WOULD BE BENEFICIAL TO THEIR EFFORTS. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? YOU KNOW WHY HAVEN'T THEY COMBINE THESE PARCELS? IT SEEMS STRANGE THAT THEY HAVE SO MANY PARCELS IN THIS, AND SHUTTING THIS OFF AND SHUTTING OFF PUBLIC EASEMENT.

IF THEY SHOULD SELL ONE OF THOSE, THEY'D HAVE TO GO AND CREATE ANOTHER EASEMENT.

DO YOU KNOW WHY THEY HAVEN'T COMBINED ALL THOSE INTO ONE BIG PARCEL? YEAH, I DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER TO THAT. I MEAN, IT MAY BE SOMETHING THEY CONSIDER IN THE FUTURE, BUT LIKE YOU SAID, IF THEY DO DECIDE TO SELL THESE PARCELS IN THE FUTURE TO SOMEBODY ELSE OTHER THAN THE WATER IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT, YOU KNOW THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO THEN AT SOME FORM OR FASHION, CREATE SOME KIND OF, YOU KNOW, PUBLIC ACCESS EASEMENT TO THOSE PARCELS SO THAT THEY COULD HAVE ACCESS.

BUT YEAH, I DON'T KNOW THEIR INTENTIONS OR WHAT THEY ARE PLANNING TO DO IN RELATION TO COMBINING OF THOSE PARCELS.

BUT THIS TIME, YOU KNOW, MY UNDERSTANDING OF THIS IS THAT THIS RIGHT OF WAY IS ALLOWING UNWANTED TRESPASSING.

SO THIS DIRECTION MAKES SENSE TO ME. AND I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE HEARING ITEM NUMBER 3.

SECOND. CLERK OF THE BOARD. SUPERVISOR CHECK.

YES. SUPERVISOR. JENKINS. AYE. SUPERVISOR KUKNYO.

YES. VICE CHAIR COMPTON. YES. ITEM IS APPROVED UNANIMOUSLY.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU, ROGER. BEFORE WE MOVE ON TO THE COUNTY MANAGER'S REPORT, I'D LIKE TO.

I MISS SOMETHING, RAY, CAN YOU COME ON UP? I APOLOGIZE.

I JUST WANTED TO WELCOME YOU TO THE BOARD OF PLANNING AND ZONING FOR THE COUNTY.

AND I THANK YOU FOR WILLINGNESS TO COME AND SERVE, AND NOT JUST TO MY FELLOW BOARD MEMBERS.

THE REASON FOR IT WAS I FELT IT WAS NECESSARY THAT WE HAVE SOMEBODY ON THE BOARD THAT KNOWS FIRE.

IT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT THING THAT WE'RE DEALING WITH THE MAJORITY OF THE TIME, THAT SOMEBODY THAT KNOWS THE INTERNATIONAL FIRE CODE AND KNOWS WHAT'S HAPPENING. SO THIS

[01:10:02]

BOARD DOESN'T END UP IN THE POSITION IT WAS IN LAST WEEK, OR THE LAST MEETING, I SHOULD SAY.

SO RAY GOT A FEW MINUTES. VICE CHAIR COMPTON, FELLOW BOARD MEMBERS AND STAFF.

IS YOUR MIC ON? HELLO. NO. PRESS THE GREEN BUTTON.

HOW'S THAT? THERE YOU GO. VICE CHAIR COMPTON.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. BOARD MEMBERS AND STAFF.

IT'S AN HONOR, FIRST OF ALL, TO BE APPOINTED TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION.

WHEN I STARTED MY CAREER, I NEVER ENVISIONED MYSELF BEING A GOVERNMENT REPRESENTATIVE OF ANY SORT.

I'M MORE OF THE GET DIRTY AND GET THE WORK DONE KIND OF GUY.

BUT NOW I'M GOING TO BE SITTING IN A POSITION WHERE I NEED TO MAKE SOME VERY VALUABLE DECISIONS.

AND MY INTENT IS TO PROVIDE AS MUCH GOOD INFORMATION AND INPUT.

DO SOME GREAT ANALYSIS AND PROVIDE SOME GREAT ANSWERS.

I'M SORRY TO INTERRUPT. I KNOW, I UNDERSTAND. CHAIR, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. IF WE COULD WRAP THIS UP.

RAY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I DO WANT TO SAY ACKNOWLEDGE MY WIFE KELLY, FOR HER SUPPORT IN MY APPOINTMENT.

THANK YOU. RAY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. AS I SAID, THE MEETING RAN SMOOTHER WHEN THE ATTORNEY WASN'T IN THE ROOM. BUT, YOU KNOW, HE DOES SOMETHING THAT THAT WE ALL SHOULD DO.

I MEAN, SPOUSES GIVE UP A LOT TO ALLOW US TO SERVE, SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
